Feature request to implement redelivery delay

[timfox]

I have added a feature request for the JCA layer to implement redelivery delay for MDBs.

This is a nice feature in many jms providers which is currently unusable when using them with MDBs in JBoss.

http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4438

Currently, redelivery is done via transactions (either local or XA). I suppose an option could be added to the adapter as well as legacy ASF stuff to delay for a configurable period before relaying the failure back to the provider. It won't be 'real time' but since nothing in JMS provides real time guarantees this is probably ok.

I closed the feature request since it is a stupid idea.

The MDB cannot control the message handling, all it can do is rollback
the transaction. Once that is done, it no longer controls the message.

Its not a stupid idea. Stupid idea for it to be an MDB feature, yes, but an adapter and/or provider feature? No.

The ESB is also receiving feature requests of timed delivery as well, i.e. I only want to deliver messages between 11pm-12am.

That's a different feature altogether. i.e. only activate delivery of the MDB between those times.

It's trivial to do with the old EJB2 MDB. You simply set

<DeliveryActive>false</DeliveryActive>

in jboss.xml and then use a timer to invoke start/stopDelivery() on the MBean.
I don't believe the same feature exists with EJB3?
